"Mahanirvan" by Satish Alekar is a dark comedy that explores life, death, and societal rituals. The story follows Bhaurao, a young man who dies, but his spirit lingers to witness the absurdities of death rituals and human behavior. Set in a chawl, the play uses humor and philosophical undertones to critique societal traditions and reflect on the impermanence of life.

This is a mildly reheased reading of the play.
